First up is the Smart Soundbar 9. The slender soundbar has Chromecast built-in, allowing you to stream from Spotify, Tidal, Google Play Music, Deezer and TuneIn over Wi-Fi. Native support for Spotify Connect also enables direct streaming from Spotify.
Additionally, through the magic of Wi-Fi, you can connect the soundbar to other speakers to create a wireless multi-channel home cinema system. For instance, you could add a Canton Smart SUB 8 subwoofer to make a powerful 3.1 system. You could then add a pair Smart Soundbox 3 speakers for full 5.1 surround sound – all wirelessly.

2.4GHz and 5GHz WLAN connections are supported, while the addition of aptX Bluetooth enables you to stream directly from Bluetooth-equipped devices without connecting to the Wi-Fi network.
The Smart Soundbar 9 packs a host of high-quality audio tech including 300 watts of amplification powering eight drive units. The driver line-up includes four bass drivers and two midrange drivers – all with 50mm aluminium cones – plus two 19mm fabric-dome tweeters. A pair of passive drivers with 147x57mm diaphragms further augment the bass to deliver impressive depth and punch.
These drivers work in tandem with DTS TruSurround to deliver a spacious and immersive performance. There is also support for Hi-res audio, up to 24-bit/96kHz.

Connectivity is catered for by four HDMI ports – three inputs and one output, all HDCP 2.2-compliant and supports 4K Ultra HD video. Additionally, the HDMI output supports ARC.
Two digital audio inputs – one optical and one coaxial – provide further connectivity, together with a stereo RCA analogue input. A dedicated subwoofer output is also present.

The Smart Soundbar 9 is available from late July in a choice of black or silver at an RRP of £699.
